philosophy

space+ atelier is an interdisciplinary and research-based architecture and design platform located in munich. the office was founded in 2011 (under the name workbench21) by nadine zinser-junghanns. the atelier operates at the intersection of architecture and design, working conceptually to explore and push the boundaries of spatial and object design. we strive to combine aesthetic innovation with interdisciplinary approaches, increasingly integrating new hybrid methods of spatial research, including extended reality (XR) and artificial intelligence (AI).

space+ atelier provides a versatile platform for exploration, discussion, and creation, leveraging our diverse backgrounds in architecture and design. experimental work at the university—both with students and in research—as well as collaboration with other design disciplines, are among the driving forces of our practice. these partnerships and our ongoing engagement with emerging technologies enable us to continually expand the boundaries of architectural and spatial design.

teaching

space+ studio is led by nadine zinser-junghanns, who has held the professorship for architecture and design at TH Köln since 2013. the studio explores innovative design processes for real, virtual, and hybrid spaces—from initial concepts to potential realization. the aim is to create meaningful atmospheres that frame human perception and interaction with the environment. drawing on inspiration and technology from other design disciplines, space+ studio seeks new approaches at the intersection of real and virtual spatial design.

space+ studio enables students to develop strategies for designing spaces across analog and digital realms. through process-oriented, adaptive, and participatory methods, students learn to turn abstract ideas into spatial experiences. the studio fosters methodological knowledge through both experimental and theoretical formats—‘learning by doing’ and ‘design by research’. students use analog, digital, and hybrid tools to realize and communicate their concepts, engaging in hybrid spatial research within the affiliated space+ lab.
